How do I revert configurations that I have deployed?

Description

You can revert only certain configurations that have been deployed. This document provides information required to revert configurations. You can revert configurations in the following scenarios:

• Assume that you have deployed a configuration to install a software application. You can revert and change it to enable uninstallation of the software application. You must modify the configuration by changing the following:
  • Operation type from Install to Uninstall
  • Type of package

    Note: The package must have an uninstall string.

• When you want to revert a configuration related to a security policy, you can modify the policy and change the settings as required. For example, assume that you have created a configuration to disable the option to change the wallpaper on the desktop of a computer. You can modify the configuration and change the policy to enable the option to change the wall paper, before re-deploying the policy.

You can also revert the Secure USB and Firewall configurations.?/p>
